Two cases are discussed: elastic indentations where film and substrate are anisotropic, and elasto-plastic indentations where significant material pile-up occurs. We demonstrate that the elastic modulus of a thin film can be accurately measured in both cases, even if there is significant elastic mismatch between film and substrate.&nbsp;</p> <p>This manuscript has been accepted for publication in Journal of Materials Research. &nbsp;</p> <br class="clear" /> http://www.imechanica.org/node/7264#comments research Elastic properties nanoindentation Substrate effect thin films Thu, 17 Dec 2009 16:09:21 -0500 Li Han 7264 at http://www.imechanica.org
